I find that I often make steady progress on projects when I think them through in public threads, so I'm gonna do that here. In keeping with the thread's theme, I invite you to offer feedback and new ideas to sharpen this process as it continues on. I hope to make something that a new fairy can start using and even modify with little effort, and more importantly, would want to do such things. And of course, I want everything I make to strike most users as clearcut improvements to the Title Fairy institution.
First thing:
I want to make a bot that moderates the Title Fairy thread for me. It will:
- Update the OP (potentially including more detailed info than already present
- Keep up with Noms and Anti-Noms
- Implement title changes when I approve them (presumably by typing the magic words)
- Have a much cooler name than "Title Bot"
I've already made something similar with Necrobot, but that actually stopped working for unclear reasons and wasn't shaped for other scummers' use. Still, since I can jump off of that, I don't think this'll take more than a day or so to finish. When I do, I'll probably start planning for a new Title Fairy thread (may want to design a new OP with a different ruleset and whatnot first, or even put together other projects first). But I'll think about that later. You'll see more thinkthrough posts here, and maybe a test thread elsewhere in the subforum. wOoOo
